“Healing and a reunification with our unblemished Soul, occur by the hand of grace. There is nothing to integrate nor to understand. Wholeness was gifted to us at birth and is never truly taken away. The power of the present, prayerful moment- within the stillness of your open heart, will know when it is time. Open the heart and the Soul to the energy of miracles.”

“Es ist für die Heilung nicht relevant, was wir früher erlebt haben. Wir müssen auch nicht versuchen, uns daran zu erinnern, Das, worunter wir leiden, erschaffen wir uns tagtäglich, in jedem Moment neu. Es handelt sich dabei um einen unbewussten Mechanismus, mit dem wir ständig Distanz zu anderen Menschen, aber vor allem auch zu uns selbst herstellen, indem wir unbewusst glauben, dass von jemandem, der uns nahekommt, grundsätzlich eine Gefahr ausgeht.”

“How about that. My struggles with C-PTSD made me more empathetic. They made me more attuned to what people needed and uniquely skilled in comforting them. Even the negative parts of my C-PTSD had a silver lining. It was true that when Joey was angry or upset, I had a hard time sitting with his pain and never let him sulk in peace. Instead, I'd nag and badger him until he told me exactly what was up. Once, fed up with me pawing at him like a squirrel analyzing a nut, he yelled, "Can't you just say, 'Hear you, that sucks' instead of trying to solve all of my problems? Not everything needs solving!" But days afterward, once he was feeling better, Joey often thanked me. "In the end, because you pester me, I tell you things I don't tell anyone else. And then the talks we have about my feelings change me for the better," he told me. "Nobody makes me feel cared for as much as you do." I wasn't loved in spite of my C-PTSD--but in part, because of it.”
